My Journey to Find the Best Logistics Software
We started our shipping company knowing that we could deliver high-quality service and grab a chunk of the marketplace because of our philosophies about how to do business and adding value first. How we wanted to treat our customers and get their goods to where they were going, on time, every time and exceed their expectations was clear.
We had the attitude and the will to make it work but the hurdles we encountered weren’t based on us, they were based on the tools we had to use to achieve our goals. I understand the history of the shipping business and I understand the seismic shifts that have happened and are continuing to rock the shipping world.
How the Logistics Market Has Changed
Back in the day, shipping was a simpler business than it is today. To put it simply, it was “get an order, give an estimated delivery time and deliver”. That was it. Today, with the interconnectedness of everything, operating a shipping business looks radically different. Everything from tracking and shipping information to the demands and expectations of consumers about shipping and freight has changed. Having a top-notch transportation management system is a must-have if you want to compete.
Finding the best logistics software was once simple and easy. The biggest companies had the best TMS available. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore. The rapidly evolving shipping landscape demands a nimble and modern software solution that the large monolithic software companies can’t always provide. The ever-changing, on-demand nature of doing logistics dictates the need for an agile yet robust TMS software.
Charles Darwin had once said,
“It’s not the strongest of the species that survive, or the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
Since my time in the shipping industry I have seen the wisdom of this statement first hand and I have adopted it as a motto of sorts for myself, especially in my business operations.

You want a process that is simple and straightforward. Your customers or suppliers want to print unique labels, attach to the package, and you want your drivers to pick up and scan those packages. It’s pretty straight forward. Also, it would be nice, if you could also track these packages on a map the entire way back to your distribution war
